Makeup Wars Favorite Travel Beauty Products

It’s a Makeup Wars Monday! This time I’m sharing my cruelty free Favorite Travel Beauty Products. I usually feel like I pack too many beauty products, but it’s because it’s so hard for me to narrow things down! I don’t want to forget something that I’ll need.

Eyes

Urban DecayNaked Basics Palette
I still think this is one of the best palettes you can get. It’s so useful. You can dress it up with bright or sparkly shades or use it for simple looks. 6 shades – 1 demi-matte and 5 matte . It’s a steal for the price!

Urban DecayBuild Your Own Palette
I have the 6 pan Build Your Own, as well as a few 4 pans and I love these for travel. I typically take Cobra (black with gold iridescence, vegan), Pistol (greyish brown), Half-Baked (golden bronze, vegan), Vanilla (iridescent white gold) Verve (light grey pearl), and Haight (mermaid blue, vegan). Sometimes Aura (iridescent pink and iridescent blue) from the Oz palette makes an appearance.

SugarpillAcidberry, Darling and Magentric
I need brights to come with me, so I typically bring these Sugarpill shades. Acidberry is lime green, Darling is a gorgeous bright teal blue, and Magentric is a deep magenta. Vegan.

Cover FXAnti-Age Smoothing Eye Primer
This stuff is awesome. It’s a white-based eyeshadow primer that lasts all day. It gives you true to color results with eyeshadow. Vegan.

Anastasia Beverly HillsMini-Duo Angled Spooly 7 Brush
I actually own 2 of these because I forgot one on my trip to Chicago and could not live without it. It makes it easy to fill in my brows and groom them. Vegan.

Too FacedBulletproof Brows
I’ve been using this a lot lately to fill in my brows. The shade Universal Taupe has grown on me and I like how it looks. See my review.

FaceWhat foundation and primer I take depends upon how my skin is acting at the time.

Too FacedPrimed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer
This is a great primer from Too Faced. Right now I’ve got normal to dry skin on the cheeks and under the eyes, and I feel like my pores look huge, so I want something that will minimize the appearance of pores and help my foundation stay in place, rather than slide around. This does a great job. Vegan.

Silk NaturalsFlattery Illuminating Powder
I really love this powder. It does a great job helping to lock in my foundation and give me a good glow. Vegan.

Cheeks

NARSAdult Content Cheek Palette
This palette is PERFECT for travel! You can use each shade individually or mix them for your perfect shade. It gives you cool, neutral, or warm blush options. LE, hard to find now.

It CosmeticsVitality Face Disc
Since the NARS is hard to find, I wanted to recommend an alternative cheek product for you. This Face Disk is nice. It’s got a matte bronzer to contour, a highlighter and a gorgeous blush shade.

Lips
Lips are going to change with the season and my mood, but here’s what I’d pack to take with me right now.

Bite BeautyMatte Crème Lip Crayons
I now have Grape, Satsuma and Kumquat. These 3 shades are easy to apply since they’re in a pencil form and they travel well. See my review.

Bite BeautyCashmere Lip Cream
I just purchased Moscato (bright pink) and Napa (deep cotton candy pink), as both are really flattering on my skintone. They’re comfortable to wear and very pretty. Napa is perfect for a demure lip, while Moscato is great for a bold.

Supergoop!SPF 30+ UVA/UVB MintFusion Lip Balm
This really is my favorite lip balm and I use it multiple times a day. I love the fact that it has spf and shea butter. I use it at night too, when I travel.

Paula’s ChoiceMoisture Boost Cream
I just started using this under my eyes during the day. It gives my skin the extra moisture that it craves. I also use it as an eye cream at night and to add additional moisture to my face at night. Vegan.

Amazing picks. I went and bought the Cover FX CC cream and OMG I live it. Pigmented and awesome. And those Bite Beauty matte cream pencils are GORGEOUS!!!! love Sastuma its such a beautiful color. Great picks.

It’s better to have and not need then to need and not have, right? I am going to try out most of your skincare products! thanks for sharing. =)

Happy to hear it!

Noelle

So basically, I want all of this.

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

Haha! You definitenly need the Naked Basics palette! I’m a brights girl and I love it.

Amber

I’m dying to try the bite lip creams. They are SO gorgeous! I splurged and purchased the bite lip mask a few weeks ago and it has saved my lips. It has lanolin in it though. I’m curious if that’s a no-go for you?

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

Yes, I have the lip mask and I know it has lanolin in it. I’m not fond of the ingredient and I try to avoid it, generally. It’s made from sheep grease from sheep wool (combing the sheep hair), from my understanding.

beautybymissl

I want them all! Espeically loving Naked Basics palette!

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

It really is so versatile!

Deanna

These are some great picks! I still need to pick up the Urban Decay Basics palette, and I’d love to try the Cover FX CC Cream at some point.

My sunscreen of choice right now is the MDSOLARSCIENCES Mineral Crème Broad Spectrum SPF 50 UVA-UVB Sunscreen. A lot of sunscreens irritate my skin (I have rosacea) but this one doesn’t. Also, it has a very silky texture–almost like a primer.

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

I know what you mean about sunscreens and rosacea! This Supergoop is my favorite because it doesn’t irritate mine or bother my eyes, like a lot of them do.

When I traveled home for my grandmother’s funeral, I only took the basics… and Naked Basics was one of them!

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

It makes things so easy, doesn’t it?

http://www.mynewestaddiction.com/ Laura

I have been meaning to pick up the Naked basics! Great choices~!

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

Yes, I think everyone needs it, and you know I love my brights! It just works so well to make brights shine.

Maria J.

I love the Too Faced Primed & Poreless and I also have Primed & Poreless Pure for days when my skin is being more sensitive, these are awesome face primers!

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

Both are so great!

http://www.blushingnoir.com/ Brooke @ Blushing Noir

I love your list! Especially the skin care. So essential!

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

When i travel my skin often hates me, so I need to baby it

Quiara

Your blog is terrible for me. I always come away with a wishlist and a desire to dye my hair in rainbows. <3

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

This fills me with joy

Betzy Carmona

I love a few of those

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

yay which ones?

http://blushingbiddies.com/ Puri

Lots of good picks! Have u tried out e.l.f.’s buildable palette, in comparison to UD’s? It’s not as artsy, but it seems to get the job done! I bought mine so I can throw some Makeup Geek in there. Just debating what colors :3

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

I haven’t seen it! Is it like a z-palette?

http://blushingbiddies.com/ Puri

Nope, it’s just a little 4-pan holder, just like the UD one u have above. :3

Pammy Blogs Beauty

I must get that IT Cosmetics Face disc! Lots of great pics

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

it’s beautiful when worn

marciaf

Great choices. I was afraid to do cosmetics or I’d have a list way too long. There are several items on your list that I have on a wishlist post while there are others that I love too.

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

I’m glad you like them

Norah Salazar

So many picks, like a mua dream come true. I really want to try the Cover FX cc

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

If you could only pick 1 from this list, that would be it

http://www.slashedbeauty.com/ Miranda Mendoza

I thought of you as I swatched the bite beauty pencils in Sephora the other day!

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

They really are gorgeous!

Audrey Ogg

I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the work you put into organizing and reviewing different products. It helps me write my own wish list and inspires me with new ideas.

http://www.phyrra.net/ Phyrra

I’m so happy to hear it Audrey! I’m glad it helps

I have a problem taking only the bare minimum when I travel, but I’m working on it! I would be lost without my palettes. The last trip I took, I took the Urban Decay Shattered Face Case, and it was perfect for the few days, though I needed more lippies. And maybe a few more eyeliners.

Cosmetic Sanctuary

The Bite Beauty crayon in GRAPE! It’s with me everywhere I go.

Justina

I’m obsessed with Bite Beauty lately!

FabZilla_Kath

I love Bite Beauty too and I’m itching to try the lip pencils!

Anastasia

That mini-Naked palette is super travel-friendly. Love it

http://www.citizensofbeauty.com/ Citizens of Beauty

I agree with you on everything here…but LOVE the cashmere lip cremes form Bite. They are amazing!

http://www.painted-ladies.com/ Sheila Arkee

Great choices!
